Dating my first cousin & want to marry him
Hi There,
I am dating my first cousin (my dads elder brother son) for the past nine years. Which means we follow the same religion and cultural values. We really want to marry each other, but our main problems are as follows:
1 - we have a 10 years of age difference, I started dating him when I was 13 and he was 23
2 - We are blood relatives (and that my mother hates his mother and his mother hates my mother. They are in talking terms but just for the sake of it) and because we are blood related, they could be chances of not having a baby or having an abnormal one. We both have consulted the Doc but not yet got a blood test done. But on the other hand, the Doc has shown a positive sign - because our marriage would be first in the family as in the cousin wedding or we don't have any kind of fertility family problems.
After staying with each other for such a long time, we both can't afford to break up, tried many times but it doesn't work, he will be moving to another country for good, and on a separate note, without my parents consent, I have also applied for my visa for that particular country.
FYI - We can't get married now due to finanical stabiliy and also that I am in my final year of MBA, we both think that I should complete my studies and then get married and in the mean time save as much as we can.
Please advice.
